Orphans Blu-Ray

Renowned Scottish actor Peter Mullan (Trainspotting, My Name Is Joe) made his feature film directorial debut with this violent, pitch-black comedy about family grief, shot on and around the streets of Glasgow where he grew up. Orphans tells the story of four siblings who reunite to bury their mother, mixing realistic drama, wildly absurd humor, and poignant social observations. This delightfully unsentimental film, which revels in subverting audience expectations, is a dark, dangerous, funny, and extraordinarily moving modern classic of Scottish cinema.
